DNA Extraction for WGS, Long-Read, and Targeted Sequencing

by

Introduction: Why DNA Extraction Strategy Matters for Sequencing No matter how powerful your sequencing technology is, your results will only be as good as your DNA sample. DNA extraction is the foundation of every sequencing project, and the method you choose can make or break the outcome. Different sequencing applications—such as whole genome sequencing (WGS), long-read sequencing, or targeted …

Introduction-to-Microsatellite-and-Microsatellite-Genotyping

What are microsatellites? Microsatellites, also known as short tandem repeats (STRs) or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are tandem repetitive sequences in which the repeating unit contains from one to six nucleotides. The number of repeats is very variable in populations and within the alleles of an individual since microsatellites are prone to slippage during DNA …
